Excerpt from Godfrida: A Play in Four Acts
Interviewer. I understand you are about to publish a play which you have written for the stage.
Poet. Yes.
Interviewer. Pardon me, but do you think it wise to publish a play before it has been produced?
Poet.
I intend to produce it before publication.
Interviewer. Ah, yes; to secure the dramatic rights. But I mean that people will not read a play which they have not seen.
Poet.
I would not care to invite an audience to witness a play which I could not invite my readers to peruse.
Interviewer. Well. - Is it in verse?
Poet. Principally. There is some prose dialogue.
Interviewer. Then is it a continuation of your attempt to revive the Jacobean poetic drama?
Poet. My attempt to do so? I never made such an attempt.
